the inevitable

It was a weekend with not much to do, a cold, no money and in turn, too much thinking.

Forced introspection can be a bitch, but sometimes one does end up with a pearl after...sitting on a grain of sand for a while? Oh...that's absolutely gross. Anyway...

Here are my weekend lessons to self:

1. Enough with the self-doubt. Sometimes extenuating circumstances are just that: extenuating. Keep internalizing external problems and you'll end up with complexes and ulcers...and inevitably you'll be that whiney friend that no one wants to talk to. Hell, you're half way there.

2. Own up to your strengths. Yes, in embracing them comes expectations and accountability. However, if you ignore them you're living under a strange self-imposed ceiling. Don't be such self-defeatist.

3. Stop wearing slippers as shoes. You're not a 70 year old man and you live in the city. Plus, you have a closet full of shoes you've never worn.

4. You don't like white wine. Quit buying it.
